Description:

The Openkiosk system is basically composed of two parts. The second part is
simply called "The Client". It is the actual program that sits between the
customer and the operating system interface on the workstations. It is the
software which physically limits the user's access to the Internet, network
resources, the local programs on the workstation itself. For automatic usage,
it can take in membership card login. It is also possible to interface to
much more advanced hardware readers such as smart card readers. The client
is also capable of simple but important tasks such as remote shutdown,
instant messaging, file updates and much more.

This program is intended to be used on a client machine, with the server
machine running the nodeview package.

NOTE: rather than rely on hardcoded values for SERV_IP and SERV_PORT, the
source has been patched to read the environment values of these.
